My first name (Ingrid) isn't really hard to pronounce, but here we pronounce it ING-GREE. My middle name (Louise) seems to be hard for norwegians to pronounce and write though, lol. I've been called and gotten letters addressed to Louis, Luis, and Lovis more than Louise.

I think mine is quite hard too for not-dutchies :aah: Well, it's sort of a scandinavian name, so...

My name's Inge.

My spanish teacher pronounces it as 'IE-NUH'. lol

 

Well, for me it's not hard, but Dutch is my native language so :naughty:

Well I don't think my name is THAT hard to prunounce: Stéphanie [the é is pronounced a bit like the A in English: STAFANIE]

don't know if that's clear tho :roftl:

but people seem to spell it always wrong, they spel it with 'f' instead of 'ph' or they forget the accent on the 'e' or both :teehee:

Is the é pronounced the same way the french pronounce that é? If it is I could totally pronounce your name.

My name's Annemaaike, but allmost every teacher at school forgets the -e at the end..

And my gym teacher calls me most of the time 'Meike' or 'Maaike'

and that's very confusing because I have a Meike in my class.. XD

And she calls meike 'Annemaaike', so this year I listened to the name 'Meike'... :P

 

How to pronounce it correctly?? --> An- ne (not nee..) Maai (like My) ke (not keeee)

 

But my friends call me Anne-Mickey.. :P I actually don't know why..

But my best friend calls me Maaikie. Like Miky.. :aah:
